Debugging Cake.exe in visual studio addin dlls not resolved "404"

[robgha01]

What You Are Seeing?

Im seeing this:

it can't find any cake addins but thay are downloaded and getting installed, this goes for all addins.
if i manually copy the dll file from addins folder to cake.exe folder it works.

im using a custom configuration that looks like this (cake.config):

; The configuration file for Cake.

[Paths]
Tools=./../.tools
Addins=./../.tools/Addins
Modules=./../.tools/Modules

What is Expected?

That cake can load all addins and possible tools if this also affects it while im debugging.

What version of Cake are you using?

0.19.4.0

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?

64

What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?

Windows

Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?

No

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

Im using -Experimental and -Debug flags with -Verbosity diagnostic
also tested with -Mono

@robgha01 can you please provide a complete set of steps, ideally including a sample project, that reproduces the problems that you are seeing?

Everything that I am testing here doesn't exhibit the problems that you are seeing.

[robgha01]

Hi @gep13 i have set up a sample for you, use this command to start debugging:
Cake.exe "../../Build/build.cake" -target="Build-Publish" -configuration="release" -verbosity="diagnostic" -experimental -debug

you can also hit publish.bat in the build folder.

I need to debug my own addin c# methods and cant do so easily as when i add -debug i get dlls not found errors when i remove the -debug it works the only hack of a fix i can do is copy all addin dlls if thay have any to the cake.exe folder else its impossible to debug have you got any hint on the problem ? @gep13
